Before you say no, think about this fictional scenario:
The Amish put pressure on the local library (in an Amish community) to remove a book called
"How to kill an Amish person in three easy steps."
are they right or wrong?

They have a new movie coming out where a comedian is voted in as president.

Now I know we already have one in office now... and a poor one at that (Bush).. but wouldn't it be refreshing to have the real thing?

And what better person thatn Robin Williams to do the job.

He would have my vote in a heart beat.

I purchased an item from a retail store that looked defective and was not as expected when it arrived. When I told that to the salesperson they actually tried to physically "fix" it changing the appearance of it somewhat. Am I responsible to take this item? I did not realize it was a "special purchase". Signs are in the store that I did not see when I purchased. Filed complaint with BBB and now being harrassed by merchant by phone nasty phone messages. Three in

Suppose we could seriously give the western half of the United States to the Democrats and the Eastern half to the Republicans. They could run their half like they wanted.

Who would be running US East and who would be running US West? What would crime statistics, national security, employment rates, social services, etc. be like if each party would use it's ideal values to create? Could they get along?

No flip answers please - just create your own questions for that. I want ideas from serious thinkers here. Go by your party's basic principals.

My son wishes to be a soldier from the Viet Nam era, 173rd Airborne for Halloween - in honor of the soldiers killed that are mentioned in the Big & Rich song, The 8th of November. He is serious about this, not doing it to mock anyone, but as a tribute. (he's a pretty serious little guy) I would see to it that his insignia is correct, etc. I would like to know if there would be any way to make sure no one is offended by this? It's intended as a tribute, nothing else. Both of his great-uncles served in Viet Nam in the Air Force & his cousin is currently in the Marines - so he takes this pretty seriously. Any suggestions - & please don't be ugly . . . I'm asking nicely. Thnks -

My first thought was yes...and if not, then it should be. But keep reading...

In the linked article, Bush's supporters want to deny terrorist suspects habeas corpus.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060928/ap_on_go_pr_wh/congress_terrorism_40;_ylt=AgYsQDgsImnBceWSe3jJtVITv5UB;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl

I hate terrorists as much as the next guy, but the Constitution specifically says:

The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.

Suspects in Gitmo are not a Rebellion nor Invasion. Theoretically, they can be innocent (and should therefore have rights)...unlike the guy we rendered by mistake to Syria who got tortured.

So...Is it Constitutional NOT to allow terrorist suspects to petition for habeas corpus?

Governments of these countries ordered to remove most part of monuments to WWII victims. They forbidden Soviet Army celebrate Victory day and name them war criminals. On the other hand they also believe ex-Nazis as veterans and fighters for independence. Only Russia protests against what is going on, none more even Israel. Now these countries are members of EU and NATO. They need to be stopped.

So somebody please help me a way out, give me best options of where i could go - which country will accept me, how do i do it.

INDIANS DO NOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION OR WILL END UP IN ABUSED MARK.

my father was killed by a semi while changing a tire 3 yrs ago. my mother has a trial date ot 10-17. i found out on 9-22 that the man that killed my father is an illegal immigrant and is now driving again for the same company. i have asked my mothers attorneys why they are not pushing the illegal immigration thing and they say it is irrelevant. if you ask me IT IS relevent. If Kazimierz A. Kusnierz would have stayed in Poland where he is from , he would not have been in America where he killed my father. Andf now he is behinf the wheel of a semi truck again. I think because I live in a very small town my moms attorneys are afraid to go after the government. Does anyone feel that the government should be liable for my fathers death? I only ask b/c I feel since noone here knows me you all would be the jury so this opinio really matters before i go on. I have 19 days left. Do I get my own attorneys? As far as the geek i need to no how to find out how to get all the info on this guy i can
